It's nice to see so many of you slammed with work! While I know it is stressful, I am hopeful that it means good things for the recession and the job market. Today has been one of my busiest in recent memory. It feels so good to spend more time working than not.

On the food front, I am experimenting with what I am eating, when I am eating it, and how much I am eating. I'm pretty sure I've lost some more weight because I can see it in my face. I have mixed feelings about that, but conventional wisdom says it is not good. At this point, I am more concerned with the hypoglycemia than I am weight loss. I did some research of the effects of hypoglycemia while pregnant and I did NOT like what I read. I'm really quite surprised, given my history, that the midwife wasn't that concerned by my telling her about my problem. I am beginning to feel uneasy about using her as my prenatal care provider. We will definitely be having a very frank discussion when I go in this month.

On a more positive note, it seems that problems with hypoglycemia in pregnancy statistically peak at about 14 - 20 weeks gestation. I'm almost through that and I am hoping that the same will be true for me. I felt off all day yesterday and I think it was because I did not have enough fat and protein first thing in the morning, and I was slightly heavy on the carbs. I made sure to do a lot of protein this morning and it really did make a difference. I didn't start feeling that shaky/not quite right feeling for almost three hours and I've been able to keep it at bay pretty much all day long.

I've been having a serious chocolate craving for a while now. But, of course, haven't touched it because of the sugar. I decided to "indulge" in 10 M & M's today and they were oh so good...until I got that nasty sugary aftertaste in my mouth that NOTHING will kill. Blecht!

Back to work with myself. Hope you all are enjoying your hump days.
